The picture is happy

I watch movies in Poland, Spain and Mexico. I rarely feel comfortable. It’s not that the movies are made like domestic ones. They seem to be worthy of death. It’s just that the former are usually miserable and heavy, and I have I just want to have some fun.

Having fun is actually not that easy. For example, if a domestic film is selected, there is a 99% chance that this hope will fail; for Hong Kong films, this possibility used to be relatively low, but now it is relatively high. For me, the safest thing is Hollywood commercials.

Among genre films, the proportion of horror films that failed was the majority. Whether it was "Ruins" or "Spiritual Orphanage" or the extremely rotten "Tooth&Nail", they were terrible. Such as "The Pinhole Hotel", "Human Skin Inn" and "Bone No Existence" can still be seen. So I'm afraid that I didn't choose the right one, time was wasted, and I haven't enjoyed it yet. Gunfight movies are the same, so this "Running Scared", I highly recommend it.

The plot is not disclosed. The photography, lighting, color use, and scene scheduling are all "small details." You can see whether the scene is popular, whether the plot is engaging, and whether the editing is smooth. You just need to grasp these three points. In some movies, the soundtrack is very important. From time to time, you have to rely on music to remind you: This is a small climax, here is going to be sensational, here is going to scare you, and the result is that nothing is effective. Look at this deadly gunfire, you probably don’t forget that there is a soundtrack.

I only have time to sigh: the protagonist is a pitiful child. What is exhausted running, this is running exhausted. Arranging for a Russian child to be mistakenly put into the hands of a perverted couple, this section was a bit beyond my expectation. I don’t think it’s necessary and it’s a bit off topic. But the director may think that the two clues should have the same time to develop.

Well, my goal is to achieve it. If you are fine that day and want to find a movie to relax, I recommend you to choose this one, I hope that's right.

    I feel like these movies are similar. Shootout, screaming, hiding and reunion

    The ending falls into a cliché, a fly in the ointment, four stars

Running Scared quotes

  • Joey Gazelle: [pulling her aside] Listen to me. That piece... that's not just any hot piece. Tommy used it to burn a dirty cop.

    Teresa Gazelle: Oh no, Joe.

    Joey Gazelle: Yeah. No, no. Listen. On top of it, that kid's out there right now. The cops are on their way. If they find the gun or they find the kid and he talks, I'm dead.

    [Joey slams his hands on the wall]

    Joey Gazelle: Fuck!

    Teresa Gazelle: Calm down! Calm down. We can get to him. You can get to the gun before the cops do.

  • Joey Gazelle: [talking on the phone] I got to fucking do something about this. I can't have the kid fucking talking to the cops. You understand me? The fucking gun is on the street. This whole fucking goddamn thing is about to fucking blow up. If fucking Tommy or any of those fucking guys find out about it, I'm a dead man. You got to fucking help me.

    [pause]

    Joey Gazelle: If I fucking have to!
